You thought you’d be able to get through the weekend without the memes? Ha! You poor child. This has been a week and we’re here for it.
We started the week with the Democrats electing a Senator whose major appeal is that he has enough brain firepower to pull the “yes” lever on abortion legislation. Meet the newest Senator from the Keystone State, John Fetterman.
The other big story to break this week is the collapse of FTX – Crypto venture. Billionaire whiz kid, scammer and darling of the left had a ponzi scheme that would have made Bernie Madoff blush. The stinkleader ringleader, Sam Bankman-Fried and his rodent-like partner, Caroline Ellison defrauded investors and left a lot of people scratching their heads to have given vast sums of money to this circus act.
But don’t worry. Justice will be served. We have that pillar of integrity, Maxine Waters on the case and she was totally not involved.
But the blockbuster news of the weeks was Elon beginning to clean house at Twitter. Democrats, the media and others who are deeply concerned about losing control of the narrative misinformation were the hardest hit. The all got stompy-foot and very, very concerned for the safety of Democracy. And they took to Twitter to express it.
Honestly, the hysteria by itself is amusing. But we’re in the meme business so let’s get on with it!
There were layoff and rage-quits.
Allowing Trump back on, apparently is up there with the Climate Crisis and the Holocaust because no one on Twitter is known to be prone to hysteria.
Happy Thanksgiving. Wishing you a sane, short week. If not, we’ll cover it here.
